Magnetocumulative Generators

Devices that convert explosive energy into electromagnetic energy are often called Flux Compression Generators (FCGs) in the United States, whereas the term Magnetocumulative Generators (MCGs) is more com­ monly used in Russia. Since the Russian literature is accessed more heavily in this book, the...
